When do they next need a fifth starter?Actually if they put him on the IL, I bet they bring back Brito as a 5th starter.

No. But if the Yankees want to win the World Series this year, they need him.Do you want to pay him huge money after 2024, $150M or $200M? If not, it still makes sense.
Tuesday the 11th, I think? But the only way Brito can come back before the 17th is if he is replacing someone going to the IL.When do they next need a fifth starter?
That seems plausible.Cashman is hoarding a lot of relievers, not sure how much longer he will be able to pull that off. Also even though NY is carrying nine relievers, not sure how well they are set up for a full nine innings from the pen in that slot on the 11th, dunno who can go more than 2 innings (Hamilton or Brewer?). Brito should get another chance, but the roster manipulations are tricky. Maybe they will put a reliever on the phantom IL in time for Brito to take that turn?
The idea of Gleyber being a $200 million player is hard to swallow, but on the other hand what replacements are there? Not sure Peraza's bat plays at the major league level in terms of a starter.Do you want to pay him huge money after 2024, $150M or $200M? If not, it still makes sense.
Peraza has 37 HRs the last two seasons in 850 ABs, also 71 SBs, and he is still 22.The idea of Gleyber being a $200 million player is hard to swallow, but on the other hand what replacements are there? Not sure Peraza's bat plays at the major league level in terms of a starter.
